OXFORD, Miss. – Walkers and runners of all ages are urged to participate in a fundraiser scheduled for Oct. 27 at the University of Mississippi.

The Tie-Dye Dash begins at 4 p.m. in the Grove. Sponsored by UM’s Division of Student Affairs, the goal is to have 400 people run or walk through the campus.
